A memorial service will be held tomorrow for Arthur Hislop, a longtime resident of Los Altos and a switchboard supervisor for Pacific Telephone in San Francisco and San Jose for more than three decades.

Mr. Hislop, 85, a native of Portsmouth, N.H., and a graduate of Dartmouth College, died Thursday after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.

Mr. Hislop was an accomplished golfer, bridge player, gardener and tenor in his church choir.

He is survived by Catherine, his wife of 55 years. The couple met in a Red Cross club in Belgium during the closing days of World War II, while Mr. Hislop was serving as an Army ordnance officer. He is also survived by three sons, Arthur of San Jose, Robert of Concord and Albert of Fremont.
